The Ministry of healthcare of Ukraine explained the reasons for the surge in the incidence of coronavirus recorded last week and slowly going into decline. According to officials, the deterioration of the situation blame the people who do not observe elementary rules of behaviour in a pandemic. Because of this, in some regions it was decided to abandon the planned easing of the quarantine.In late may, the official statistics of the incidence of coronavirus in Ukraine look quite optimistic — every day revealed less than 300 new cases, whereas in the beginning of the month was the usual figure is 500 or more new patients every day.May 28 specialists of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine even said that the epidemic has reached a plateau, then there is a sharp increase in the incidence of is over. However, in early June, was recorded a significant increase in the number of cases. On 4 June, the health Ministry said on 588 new cases in one day, on subsequent days, the number of people infected has decreased, but still remained quite high, ranging around 500 people daily. On Monday, doctors reported 463 new cases. In total, the country had identified more than 28 thousand cases, 805 people died.”This situation (the spike in the incidence of.— “Kommersant”) was formed from-for frequent cases of ignoring citizens recommendations for the observance of quarantine measures, including when using public transport,”— said the Ministry of health. Officials reminded that the Ministry of health has developed a list of rules of use of public transport during a pandemic. In these rules, in particular, refers to the need to maintain separation between passengers and drivers and employees of transport companies rules prescribe to disinfect the cabin of a vehicle before every trip and to keep on Board a stock of antiseptics. Compliance with these regulations no one was watching, so buses and taxis in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities often go overcrowded, with many passengers don’t even wear medical masks on their faces.On this issue drew the attention of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. “People need to be reminded that carelessness in regard to means of protection is a big threat during the epidemic COVID-19. To find a balance between returning to normal life and safety difficult. The invisible danger is the worst, because you don’t see the point in the mask, and tomorrow, a growing number of patients”, he said in the past at the end of last week the meeting with representatives of the government.The government has not revised the plans to combat the epidemic. Have already used this opportunity, the authorities of several regions. Thus, in Volyn region, as well as on the part of the Donetsk region controlled by Kiev, was adoptedabout the decision to refuse is allowed by order of the government resuming the work of kindergartens and hotels. Are significant restrictions on the public transport. So, in the Volyn region do not stop transiting the region’s trains and buses, and in the Donetsk region stopped city bus services.Not excluded, and the delay in opening of the control points of entry and exit (KPVV) between controlled and uncontrolled Ukrainian authorities territories in Donetsk region. It was planned that the KPVV, closed in March, will resume on June 10, but in the regional administration are afraid that this will lead to increased morbidity. “On the uncontrolled the uncontrolled situation with the spread of the coronavirus. If you open the KPVV, the results we achieved in the fight against coronavirus in the region, can be negated and the second wave of the epidemic may come now,”— said the head of Donetsk regional state administration Pavel Kirilenko. Earlier calls not to hurry with opening the KPVV played the head of Luhansk regional administration Sergei Gaidai. The final decision on the resumption of the PPC must be taken in the coming days at a meeting with officials, doctors and representatives of the headquarters Operations of joint forces.Preparations are underway for the opening of external borders.”With the passage of the isolation of the person really should pass the withdrawal, almost reducing to zero all your contacts with any other person. This is done to prevent, minimize any possible infection of another person. So all these measures we take for the sake of health and life us, Ukrainians,”— said the head of the Ministry Maxim Stepanov.Different kinds of bans and restrictions imposed in mid-March and largely still in effect, some of the citizens of Ukraine are trying to challenge in the courts. They accuse the government of neglecting constitutional rights such as the right to freedom of movement and right to work. The appellants insist that rights were violated by the requirement of the government to restrict access to public transport and close businesses that are not critical to the existence of the state.The specialists of the Ukrainian Ministry of justice is already preparing for the trial on these claims. “There’s a lot of discussion about whether fully complied with the legal procedure for imposition of quarantine or not. The short answer is: in the end, would give the court. We have a lot of complaints in the District administrative court, where these decisions are reviewed. We were on the very edge of authority. Next is would be the illegality. Risky tactic. No reserve we n�� left”,— reported in interview “Radio Freedom”, the Minister of justice of Ukraine Denis Malyuska.He expressed the hope that the courts will side with the state, even in the case of discrepancies between the government’s decisions with the applicable law, because these decisions were dictated by concern for the health and lives of people. In any case, the Minister concluded, the amount of payments on claims in the event of a court victory by the plaintiffs would not be significant, as the specialists of the Ministry received the task to protect the state budget funds in the course of proceedings on the legality of the imposition of quarantine.Matthew Shimanov, Kiev
